Rhyme: “Hickory Dickory Dock”
Hickory dickory dock,
The mouse ran up the clock. (run fingers up arm)
The clock struck one, (clap once)
The mouse ran down, (run fingers down arm)
Hickory dickory dock.
Additional verses (clap for each number the clock strikes):
…two…said “Boo!”…
…three…said “Whee!”…
…four…said “No more!”…

Song: “Put Your Hands Up High” (tune: “Do Your Ears Hang Low?”)
Put your hands up high,
Put your hands down low,
Put your hands in the middle
And wiggle just so. (wiggle fingers)
Put your elbows in the front,
Put your elbows in the back,
Put your elbows to the side
And “quack, quack, quack.” (flap wings on each quack)

Song: “The Ants Go Marching”
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah.
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah.
The ants go marching one by one,
The little one stops to suck his thumb.
And they all go marching down,
To the ground, to get out, of the rain.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Additional verses:
…two…tie her shoe…
…three…climb a tree…
…four…shut the door…
…five…take a dive…
…six…pick up sticks…
…seven…count to eleven…
…eight…check the gate…
…nine…check the time…
…ten…say “The End!”
